Amazon Prime Video is often overlooked for its abundance of binge-worthy television shows. For those of us who do not own Netflix accounts, this is a great way to discover amazing series (and immediately convince friends to watch them too). Amazon, similar to Netflix or Hulu, offers a wide variety of shows that people of every age can enjoy. Whether you have an account or not yet, now is the time to reap the benefits of Amazon Prime Video.
1. Glee
This show was hugely popular show a few years ago, but many people have forgotten what a fun musical drama Glee truly is. Centered around a misfit high school glee club, it’s a heartwarming ride of phenomenal songs and great characters. Glee is perfect for an inevitable sick day spent binge-watching Amazon.
2. Teen Wolf
What could be more entertaining than the supernatural adventures of a high school werewolf? Don’t worry, the show is equally much darker and funnier than it sounds. Filled with intense plot lines, awesome action, and a stellar cast, Teen Wolf is the perfect show for everyone wishing to relive the wild ride of high school.
3. Orphan Black
In this science fiction favorite, protagonist Sarah Manning discovers her DNA was part of a cloning experiment. As the show goes on, actress Tatiana Maslany does an incredible job playing over 12 distinct clones. The show is an action-packed mystery starring fierce heroines, wonderful comedy and breathtaking plot twists you don't want to miss.
4. The Man In The High Castle
Although I have not personally watched this show, I have heard nothing from great reviews from its plethora of fans. Imagine what our country would look like if the Axis Powers had won World War II. This action-packed, thrilling show revolves around the spooky hypothetical reality in which the USA no longer exists. You’ll want to get comfy for this binge.
5. Covert Affairs
Have you ever wondered what critical drama and looming crises go on inside the CIA? This show is a high-speed journey of agent Annie Walker who is determined to do whatever it takes to ensure justice. You’ll be on the edge of your seat learning about the intricacies of the government agency and enjoying the intense chases around the world.
6. The Royals
In this fictional British royal family, scandals, betrayals and lies are nothing short of normal. The Royals is a hilarious drama full of plot twists and outstanding characters you’ll love in a heartbeat. The show was just picked up for a fourth season, so you have time to catch up on all the insane action and romance conspiring in the palace.
7. Downtown Abbey
It’s the British historical drama everyone has been raving about for six seasons. If you haven’t caught up to the hype yet, now is the perfect opportunity to binge the excitement of early 20th century English estate life. The actors are phenomenal, the costumes are beautiful and the plot is one that will leave you with awe and desire for more.
